On Life, Faith, Love and Whatever else catches my fancy!

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.

Once in a great while, you hear a song that encapsulates every thought in your heart, every secret prayer you have prayed, and reflects your deepest yearnings and highest hopes.

With words that acknowledge all that’s going on where you are, but does not leave you hanging there. A song that reveals the heart of the Father towards you in a poignant yet powerful and profound way. Such is the song ‘You are not forgotten’ by Israel Houghton.

I had heard this song before but on this particular day, flying to a destination that I don’t even remember) it was as if I’d just heard it for the first time. Up in thousands of miles in the airways, tears of encouragement, healing and hope for the future started streaming down my face as the words of this song imprinted themselves in my heart. My goodness! At that moment, I felt such unconditional love from my Heavenly Father and was so filled the assurance that I am loved; in a way I’d never before felt it. As the lyrics of this song flowed through my soul – A gentle lullaby from my Father’s lips it effected a transformation in my heart in a way I had never before experienced. Every part of my broken heart, every hurt, every painful memory, The Lord healed. The phrases oft repeated in this song reverberated within the walls of my being, creating a new me.

A ‘me’ emerged from that experience a new creation filled with love and fueled by grace. A me knows that the future is assured in Christ because I am not forgotten.

I have come a long way since that trip many years ago, and sometimes I am tempted to give up, I get weary… But every once in a while I will hear that refrain again – “YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN” and it transports me right back into my Father’s arms… I am not forgotten, and neither my friend are you. God has His book of remembrance open and it its own, and perfect time He will bring EVERYTHING he has promised to pass.

You are not forgotten:

He knows your name

You are not forgotten:

He has plans for you

You are not forgotten:

You have a future and hope

Stand tall!

You are not forgotten

Stand strong!

You are not forgotten

Rest!

You are not forgotten

Rejoice!

You are not forgotten

He knows your name and has determined your days from before the foundation of the world. He fashioned you proudly and uniquely to be EXACTLY who you are… Don’t YOU forget that.

Don’t you ever forget that you are not forgotten.
